VIDEONICS TITLEMAKER 2000
Use with Video Processors
A video processor or enhancer may be used as well. Processors are generally
connected directly to the camcorder output so they adjust the video before
titles are added.
Multiple Source Editing with a Video Mixer
Advanced editing combines video from more than one source. A video
mixer is used to combine the video sources to use fades, wipes, and other
effects to transition between sources. As with a single source, you can connect
a titler before or after the mixer:

Generally, the most flexible arrangement is to connect the TitleMaker 2000
between the mixer and the recorder ( ). This arrangement has an important
advantage: Titles can be superimposed over the mixed signal. For instance,
you could have a wipe from source B to source C and have titles superim-
posed over the entire transition, rather than just having the titles atop either B
or C.
You may use the titler as a separate input ( ). The advantage of this
arrangement is that the mixer's effects can be used on the titles.
Of course, you can use multiple TitleMaker 2000s, connecting one titler to
the input and one to the output.
GPI Control
The TitleMaker 2000 is equipped with a CONTROL input. As explained in
Chapter 20, "Editing, Presentations, and Other Applications," this allows
you to set up pages of titles, with pre-defined durations and effects, and have
an external controller trigger each new page as the production is assembled.
Edit controllers such as Videonics Thumbs Up are equipped with a GPI
("General Purpose Interface") output that will trigger the TitleMaker 2000.
Warning: Always turn off power before plugging anything into GPI jack.
